Weather Journal: No Relief From the Cold, Winds

There’s no relief in Thursday’s forecast for those Greater New Yorkers tired of being battered by strong winds and extremely cold temperatures.

While there’s little chance of the region receiving additional snow on Thursday, wintery weather will continue through the weekend. In the short-term, an area of surface high pressure builds into the region Wednesday night and moves offshore on Thursday morning. This results in partly cloudy skies for most of Thursday. Another cold front is set to move across the region in the afternoon, possibly touching off snow showers in eastern zones during the second half of the day.

Temperatures on Thursday will again be at least 10 degrees below normal, and below the freezing mark, with highs unlikely to pass 30 degrees in most places. And yet another blustery day is in store for Greater New York as a southwest wind at 10 mph increases to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon.
